South Asia: An Environmental History shows how the civilizations of this geographically diverse region were formed (physically, ethically, and culturally) by their interactions with the environment--a relationship with particularly strong social and spiritual dimensions because of the interdependence of the predominantly agrarian population and the land. Specific topics range from ancient irrigation techniques and peasant adaptation to the environment, to the impact of imperialism on nature, the effect of post-colonial technology on contemporary life, and the enduring influence of religion on the way South Asian societies address ecological issues.Nature and human societies.Human ecologySouth AsiaHistoryHuman ecologyHistory.304.20954Hill Christopher V.1953-1352481DLCDLCUtOrBLWBOOK9910693500803321South Asia3180252UNINA01272nam0 22003493i 450 USM190835920251003044436.0978271176530020120613d2009 ||||0itac50 bafrefrz01i xxxe z01nProcedures civiles d'executionCecile Robin4. edParisVuibert2009281 p.24 cmDyna'sup.
